Colombo, Feb. 2 (Daily Mirror) - The United National Party (UNP) is to embark on a mission to digitalize the party activities with a special digitalized process assisted by Starlink, Party General Secretary Harin Fernando said today.

The launch will take place on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

“At this event, the official appointment of Digital Wardens covering all electoral wards across Sri Lanka will be formally launched. As an initial phase, 1,000 Digital Wardens will be appointed on this day. This initiative aims to make the party’s organisational processes more efficient, faster and closer to the people,” Fernando said.

“In addition, the new UNP mobile application (UNP App) will also be officially introduced. This app will provide a new digital platform for party members, organisers and the general public to facilitate information sharing, awareness and stronger connectivity. Another key highlight of this digital launch will be the official commissioning of the Starlink high-speed internet connectivity at the Sirikotha party headquarters. This will further strengthen the party’s digital communication capabilities. Building a people-centered, innovative and technology-driven political culture remains a core objective of the United National Party, and this digital launch marks an important step in that direction,” he added.

Whatever form these people try put the party in, its bloodied history is never forgotten and its image can never ever be reformed.

So Starlink makes it special? Doesn't he know that the internet can be accessed easily via mobile phones?

General Secretary will do all this work. I wonder if he would be available to enjoy the fruits as if his court cases are heard and determined where he would be at that time no one can guess

Only the UNP could mistake digitalization for a luxury safari—beaming in Starlink while cheaper, practical platforms that the population uses seem too low. That’s right Harin, nothing like proving you’re out of touch and out of bandwidth at the same time.
